anyone wanna help me with sump and refugium

I wanna make a DIY sump/refugium.
Could anyone help me out? I have no idea what i'm doing D:

I was thinking of using a 29 gal for my future 120 gallon.

Could anyone show/make me a diagram?

I want the refugium to be at the end of the sump, where i will be using a return pump and such.

Are you talking about making a sump out of a smaller tank under your main tank? Would you be using an overflow box?

I've been thinking about setting up one myself. Someone gave me a 20 gallon sump and overflow but there's no pump so I'd have to buy that. I was thinking I could add a light above the sump and use it to grow plants. Basically it's sitting there and I just really want to do something with it.

Here is a link with some of the info I found.

Well my best explanations might be in my 90g build thread: 90gal System Build

Posts #4, 8 show the actual sump
Post #21 is a diagram of the sump
Post #12 might help depending on how you are plumbing it

If you need clarification on any particular points in what I did feel free to ask here or there Hope this helps!
